STILL MOTION

"An early morning walk is a blessing for the entire day,"  Henry David Thoreau



*  Recently I have been experiencing  Perfect Health meditation free online from Deepak Chopra, M.D. and Oprah Winfrey.  This is a  21 Day Meditation Challenge for people world wide to feel more deeply the benefits of a quiet mind.   This program encourages participants to make room for daily meditation in their lives.  I signed up!  This is the first online event I have joined.


One of the reflection questions:
"How can you connect with nature each day no matter where you are?"

 I wrote:
"I just close my eyes.  I can transport myself into nature anywhere anytime.  I can revive memories and conversations with family, friends, and pets.  Today I picture walking down to the beach on wooden steps worn smooth with time and footsteps.  I sink my shoes into the warm white sand.  Here I practice Tai Chi, meditative exercise, in mind-space.  I absorb a quiet retreat alone yet not alone in my sacred space.  I feel Peace of Heart."


"In pure consciousness there is no time,"  Deepak Chopra, M.D.
